Then I'd guess that it's nice that you are in that position. I hardly see
this as a reason to walk away from a project.

I feel like, if the decision maker still wants to do it wrong af
Sytze,
You could use a 3rd party SMTP service to send your emails. I've
purchased project/specific SMTP accounts from fastmail.fm for exactly
this purpose. I choose the $39/year plans but I'm sure you could get by
on a lower plan.
BTW: Fastmail is an Australian company - your neck of the woods, I

I step away from jobs for less than this.

I have to agree. Given the choice, I will send plain text emails. Sometimes
tho, the person signing the checks wants it done differently and we have
little choice but to accommodate.

I refused to do HTML emails. Email is the wrong medium for anything but plain
text.
What I did instead was one of 2 thing
I totally agree (Blatting), until the ISP stops it
In this country, one of the largest ISP's is called Xtra
If you have an account with them and your email is jonnie@xtra,
blatting is no problem
If you have an account with them and a domain name so your email is
some...@yourdomain.co.nz, they will
No problems with it here...but HTML can be something of a moving target.
FWIW, I've tried 5 or 6 different email sending solutions for VFP apps
and BLAT has been the hands-down best, most reliable and least difficult
to implement.

You can also CDOSys to send email. I use this all the time as it is
built in to Windows.

HTML formatted is just text with specific tags and is more dependent on the
client-side to interpret it correctly. I see no issues with this.

Will BLAT do HTML formatted emails though? That's what the OP said he
needed.
